My cultivation disguise has been exposed by Xiao Sizi.

He slapped his thigh and jumped off the warm jade bed.

"Nonsense!"

Li Shimin was so anxious that he jumped up and down, and the majesty of the dignified emperor of the Tang Dynasty was completely lost at this moment.

He stared wide-eyed at the ox.

"Your Highness! What nonsense are you spouting! I am the Emperor, the supreme ruler, with three thousand beauties in my harem... no, my love for your mother is stronger than gold!"

"How did I become a scumbag who cheats people out of their money and sex?!"

At this moment, everyone in the Lizheng Hall looked at Li Shimin with an incredibly strange, even scrutinizing, gaze.

Empress Zhangsun's smile vanished completely.

Her face was frosty, her phoenix eyes narrowed, and she stared coldly at Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, children speak without thinking. Si Zi has always been well-behaved and would never wrong you without reason."

Empress Zhangsun's voice carried a murderous intent.

"Could it be that Your Majesty has recently been involved in some improper affair behind my back?"

"I'm innocent, Guanyin!"

Li Shimin was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"I spend all my time cultivating in the palace, I haven't even stepped outside the Taiji Palace! Where would I possibly find myself to have any romantic entanglements?"

Li Shimin turned to look at Sizi, as if he were looking at a leaky, black-hearted little cotton-padded jacket.

"Sizi, quickly explain to your mother who taught you to speak ill of your father like this!"

Sizi pouted, feeling wronged, and thought she hadn't said anything wrong at all.

She recounted in detail how she had encountered the two beautiful women at a secluded tea stall on Zhuque Street that day.

"That pretty lady said it herself!"

Sizi imitated Jiang Liyue's angry tone in a childish voice.

She said, "Your father is a liar! A complete scumbag!"

"He took advantage of me, deceived my feelings! And he even pretended to be innocent, saying that he had kept his purity for over ten years, and now it's all gone!"

Si Zi imitated it perfectly, even mimicking the "pui" gesture flawlessly.

After saying that, the pretty lady angrily pulled another pretty lady away.

Dead silence.

Inside the Lizheng Hall, there was an absolute silence so profound you could hear a pin drop.

At this moment, everyone's expressions became exceptionally interesting.

Li Chengqian silently wiped the tea off his face with his sleeve and quietly took two steps back.

Li Tai gasped, looking at his father as if he were a beast.

"More than ten years of innocence?"

Empress Zhangsun was so angry that she laughed instead.

She stared intently at Li Shimin, her voice so cold it could shatter ice.

"Your Majesty, how old are you this year? Your innocence was lost more than ten years ago, wasn't it?"

"You're not just a scumbag, you're shamelessly making up excuses to fool young girls!"

Empress Zhangsun was so angry that she trembled all over.

"You've taken over someone else's body and you still complain about being wronged? Your Majesty, you're becoming more and more of a capable emperor!"

Faced with this overwhelming "accusation," coupled with the utterly contemptuous looks from the whole family.

Li Shimin was speechless and unable to defend himself.

He felt as if a huge black pot, like Mount Tai, was being pressed down on his head.

"It's not me! It really isn't me!"

Li Shimin was on the verge of tears, so anxious that he paced back and forth in circles.

"Guards! Guards to me!"

Li Shimin roared, his voice shaking the heavens.

A dark figure appeared in the center of the hall like a ghost, kneeling on one knee. It was the leader of the Bad People of the Tang Dynasty.

"Bad Commander, heed my command!"

Li Shimin drew the Emperor's Sword from his waist and pointed it in the direction outside the palace.

"Immediately seal off all nine gates of Chang'an! Deploy all available agents from the Bad People's Bureau!"

"Find those two exceptionally beautiful women that Si Zi just mentioned! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, bring them to the palace!"

"Today I will confront them face to face! I will prove my innocence!"

The tyrannical commander felt the emperor's overwhelming rage and trembled with fear.

"As you command!"

The shadowy figure vanished instantly.

The massive machinery of the Tang Dynasty began to operate at high speed in order to clear the emperor's name of being a "scumbag."

……

the other side.

At the end of Zhuque Avenue in Chang'an City.

Jiang Liyue and Jiang Qingxue were walking briskly towards the city gate amidst the bustling crowd.

Jiang Liyue's pretty face was covered with frost.

"I'm so angry! I'm so angry!"

She walked along, muttering to herself through gritted teeth.

"I knew it! That pitiful look he gave me in the cave seemed so fake! Turns out he's a shrewd old fox with a bunch of kids!"

"How dare they lie to me! Once I return to the Origin Heaven Realm, I will definitely go into seclusion and cultivate diligently. One day, I'll beat them to a pulp!"

Jiang Qingxue sighed helplessly as she watched her younger sister's outburst.

She never expected this.

That seemingly carefree and lazy young man with unfathomable strength was actually the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and a very womanizing one at that.

"Liyue, don't be angry. Just think of it as being bitten by a dog. Let's leave Chang'an as soon as possible and find a quiet place to find out how to get back."

Just as the two were about to walk out of Zhuque Street and approach the South Gate.

A sudden change has occurred!

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Countless whooshing sounds suddenly rang out around the bustling streets.

Hundreds of members of the Tang Dynasty's Bad Guys, dressed in black outfits and wearing black iron masks.

It was as if it had been born from a shadow.

They poured out from rooftops, alleyways, and teahouses from all directions in an instant.

Their movements were perfectly synchronized, without making any unnecessary noise.

In the blink of an eye, they surrounded Jiang Qingxue and Jiang Liyue in the very center of the street.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding people exclaimed in surprise and dispersed, clearing a large open space.

Jiang Qingxue and Jiang Liyue's expressions changed drastically.

Back to back, they instantly drew their long and short swords from their waists. Their Golden Core stage protective true essence surged wildly within their bodies.

"Who are you?! What do you want?!"

Jiang Qingxue shouted sharply, her eyes scanning the surroundings like lightning.

What terrified her was...

These hundreds of men in black all exuded an aura that was no weaker than that of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator!

Among them, the leading figures exuded a chilling aura of a half-step Golden Core stage cultivator!

The strength of the Tang Dynasty was so terrifying it was breathtaking!
